Thread: Chipped dubl duck satin edge.

Just got in a coti and thuri ordered off of a member here, thank you Pieter! Decided that the dubl duck would be the first to work on. Set the bevel on a 1k choss then used the dilucot method to bring the blade through and finished on the thuri. At this point it cut hair very easily but I think there is much to learn about using both of these stones, after a strop on crox and leather its among the sharpest edges I have in my rotation.

A truly nice shave off of the duck! Just wondering if the edge doesn't pop hairs easily until after the crox does that mean that I hadn't used the stones to their fullest?

anyhow I feel incredibly lucky to have acquired this razor for $10

cheers folks!

Myself, I don't usually go by hair popping. But most people will say that you should have been able to do so before the CrOx To me the only real test is on the face. And an excellent job there. you have the nod for "Patience Saint" of the year.

And just as a word of caution.... Those clear DD scales are infamous for self destructing and taking the steel from sparkling shine to rusted heap of scrap. Keep it as dry as possible and out of sunlight. If you start getting rust freckles you might consider removing the blade from the scales and have one of the pro guys transfer the inlays to a new set of scales.
